The Flash - Would appreciate input!

dr grim

Hi guys, I am doing this guy, still wip but I could use some advice here and there. I plan on making it a game character, rig him and have him run in circles!



I am aware I need to model/clean some of the decorations, I did those in ZB real quick.

Any input on the anatomy or whatnot is welcome, I'd appreciate it!

Thank you in advance!

Anatomy looks great! Face looks pretty good with character aswell.
Not sure what his costume is made of though....Its like you made a naked man and then quick made him into gordon :P Depending on the material type, you could go in and harden some areas, smooth out areas, define the materialsbetter, etc

Hey, thx for commenting.

Regarding the suit, it has to be a high tech thing as this is a version of Jim Lee's design.



I made some changes based on the toy figure, mixing here and there. I wanted solid boots.

Updated and fixed some anatomy here and there.

You could give the suit some drag-resistant texture like this.



And maybe a satiny material like this.

i'd make the hands and forearms a little thicker/bigger man... they look really out of place. especially in the side view. he's got girly hands!

I think you're right, yeah. I'll be back tomorrow with an update and fixes.

Thank you for your input!

You kinda read my mind there I might use an hexagonal pattern instead of circle, something overlaid. We'll have to see what works best.

dr grim

Hey guys, updated with bigger hands and lines patterns.

Looks great!! no crits looking forward to progress

Maybe you could lengthen the arms more, since his hands should be mid thigh, but i guess thats a personal choice

Very nice progress so far. But I'd personally stay away from the hexagons since they're such a cliche at this point.

dr grim

Hey, thx for commenting Fingus! Regarding the Hexagons...what do you have in mind? I can't leave it bare. AO maps grain instead?

Looking solid so far. Though the thighs I think could use a little 'lift' and taper more towards the knee. Otherwise they look a tad baggy. As an anatomical study he looks awesome; but if he's wearing a costume, he needs some indication of overlapping material. Subtle wrinkles in intersecting areas and some muscle striations/valleys toned down where the costume would lay over.

Little things aside- he's badass.

dr grim

Pretty much done here. This is live inside ZB.

Thank you all for your input! I'll be tossing this guy to Marmoset soon enough.




PD: I deleted the previous pics, I'm such an ass...If you see nothing in this post (there's a pic linked) it's Imageshack throwing a fit.

It looks great. The slight noise in the suit is a nice touch that make it a more cohesive piece of work. Now, hurry and get it into a game engine!
